AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a single-axial precision measuring apparatus for linear distances. It includes a flatbed with ventilation openings and a suction tube, a flattening mechanism with multi-sectional halt heights, and a distance measuring mechanism with an optical ruler, laser positioning element, and CCD cameras. The CCD cameras capture images of measuring points and transmit them to a monitor. The apparatus also has a temperature sensor to compensate for temperature variations and ensure measuring accuracy. The technical effects of the invention include improved accuracy in measuring, compatibility with different surfaces, and ease of use."

Problems solved by technology

A charge coupled device (CCD) camera is disposed above a table for enlarging the circuit boards or films, which are then positioned and measured in coordination with naked eye; artificial visional errors are hence frequently incurred.
Furthermore, pictures are taken by the CCD camera in a downward direction, and measurement results are likely affected due to errors in focal lengths caused by different thicknesses of the circuit boards or films.
Above all, when disposing a camera above a table, errors of measurement accuracy is further worsened by curvatures and warps in the plates in the lack of flattening mechanisms.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a single-axial precision measuring apparatus, and more particularly, to a measuring apparatus for measuring apertures and planar measurements of circuit board films or finished products. Apart from optical lock-point guidance and computerized linear measuring, the single-axial precision measuring apparatus also adopts vacuum suction and a multi-sectional flattening mechanism for fixing without damaging the films or boards, while also overcoming curvatures and warps in the boards. The single-axial precision measuring apparatus additionally has a temperature compensation / adjustment device for avoiding material variations due to temperature changes, and thus minimizing measurement errors.[0003](b) Description of the Prior Art[0004]Manufacturing process of prior circuit boards includes tasks such as drawing masters, films and production boards, and drilling. Present circuit designs of circuit board...
